Luke Getsy will scheme up some cheapies for him. With more viable red zone options and with defenses forced to account for his scrambling ability when the Bears have goal-to-go, Fields will get the passing TD record this season. As a result, we're not going to see nearly as many plays featuring Justin Fields creating 60+ yard runs out of pure magic. Pass protection should also be better next season, provided that good health is maintained with the starting five hogs. The red zone options, in particular, are fantastic between Robert Tonyan, Cole Kmet (he was outstanding when given the chance in 2022), DJ Moore, Chase Claypool, and (possibly) Roschon Johnson.

The Bears have a good set of complementary weaponry for a young, aggressive QB to consistently attack secondaries. The TDs for sure, and the passing yardage might finally exceed 4,000 for the first time in franchise history. Ken Mitchell - Yes, he will, assuming he stays healthy, and both Mooney and Claypool are healthy as well.Įrik Duerrwaechter - Yes. I understand the arguments against that with the running game and the volume Fields provides with his legs that the passing stats don't have to be there, but I believe this offense takes a major step forward this year, and the volume will indeed be there. I will always predict this because it's too sad not to do so. Our team was split on this one, and here's what we had to say. Will Justin Fields break the Bears' all-time passing record of 3,838 passing yards and/or 29 TDs?



That was the gist of our latest roundtable question. The electrifying QB1 is primed for a big year, but how big of an improvement should we expect from him as a passer? Chicago should have one of their most dynamic offenses in recent memory, and at the center of it is third-year quarterback Justin Fields. The 2023 Bears have added a legit number-one wide out (DJ Moore), they bolstered the offensive line, and their running game shouldn't miss a beat. That 1995 season featured two thousand-yard receivers (Jeff Graham and Curtis Conway), and a thousand-yard rusher (Rashaam Salaam), and the Bears had the balance of having a top-ten rushing and passing offense. The Chicago Bears have the lowest single-season passing yards record (3,838) and the lowest single-season passing touchdown record (29) in the NFL, both set 28 years ago by Erik Kramer.
